Release Candidate 1

All,

http://assistment3.cs.wpi.edu

There's a new release up there! Students can now tell what assignments they've completed/not-finished, the preview window now scrolls, and the student tutor has a fancy new look! There's other new changes in there, but I just can't remember right now.

Anyway, restarting assignments and smarter sequences/sections are on the horizon in the next couple days. As always, let me know of any issues you have. Thanks!

Gotta have Docs ...

You'll notice a new link in the ... links section ... Documentation. The past week we've been working on documenting everything we've got ... and this is what we have to show for it! It currently only has the requirements list, use cases, and system documentation, but they'll be more to add soon (like database schema/diagram and model class diagrams). Enjoy!

Assistment on Rails - Alpha

That's right people ... we have a blog! And what better way to kick off a first post than to announce the first version of Assistment! You can check it out at http://nth5.wpi.edu. The plan is to release something every week; next week will be a crazy amount of documentation. Yeah, I know, not as exciting :(

Feel free to comment here on any issues you find, or email me directly. Enjoy!
